Greek life is fairly big at OWU, however they do not recruit heavily. For instance, I have no interest in joining a fraternity and I do not feel pressured into doing so at all. The guys are really cool about it in general. Sororities are the same way (from what I've heard). I live in the Creative Arts House, one of those SLUs that people talk about. The Creative Arts House, aka CAH, includes a lot of artistic and musical people that try to spread creativity to the rest of OWUs campus. SLUs have house projects every semester, and CAH always brings opportunities to OWU students to use their creativity. The front door to CAH is usually open and people are welcome to stop by at any time. Dorms are very similar. You need your student ID card to swipe into the dorm buildings and a room key to get into your room. However, many students leave their room doors open if they are in the room. There isn't too much concern over stealing or anything like that. Students generally respect each other and each other's stuff. Students go to athletic events, guest speakers, and theater performances as they like, which is fairly often. The dating scene? Heh heh, well, I mean that can't be too different from any other college campus. There are many kinds of people who like to date people in different ways and they can pretty much all be found at OWU. There are plenty of short-term relationships and plenty of long-term relationships. There isn't too much stress surrounding the dating scene from what I can tell. I've met some great people in my classes and I've met some great people who lived right across the hall from me when I lived in Welch. There are great people around every corner at OWU. If I'm awake at 2am on a Tuesday, I am probably working on a paper or homework for that Wednesday morning class. But if I'm awake at 2am on a Wednesday, I am possibly partying with friends. I have not participated in this much, but for some reason Wednesday nights have become a sort of party night. Now parties at OWU aren't too crazy in general. For instance, the morning after a big party, there isn't too much to clean up. OWU doesn't have the wildest of parties, but parties do happen and they can be a lot of fun. I think in general, OWU students are pretty responsible, so even the parties don't get to far out of hand. Don't worry non-party-goers. There are plenty of other things to do on campus (and/or off campus) instead of drinking or partying. Sometimes it's just hanging out with friends, but weekends aren't too bad usually. Sometimes, they can be a little slow, but they don't last too long anyways. Gotta get back to work sometime.
